My Life was Grand
by Madi(son) D Cat
The time has come for me to join the
others
I was not ready and neither was
Mother.
When the angels came to fly me up
into the sky,
To his Bonsai Bunny my Dad said bye,
bye.
They have walked this line 2 times
before Me.
Easy it is not no matter the number
of days.
As I crossed the bridge, so many
friends greeted me.
They all spoke at once and were full
of glee
Eager to tell me of sun puddles, boxes
and food for free.
My friends mourn me not,
Since the day I was born, my life has
truly been ‘heaven’ on earth.
Remember I love you. You know how
much?
To quote my human Sis, “ I love you
two hours and a bunch”.
I bid you farewell and I end this
poem as I always have
Hugs Madi your Bfff

| We thank Ann at Zoolatry 💞for capturing the Essence of Madi here in 2 different sun puddles. |
Mom here: This was so very sudden.
Dear sweet precious friends I wish I could have contacted each of you in person so that you would not have to read this very unexpected news on a Monday.
Madi has been fighting kidney disease since June 2017. It has been my goal every day since June 2017 to celebrate Madi's life. She and I were all about fun and picking on each other and most of all we were about FAMILY we found here in Blogville you all enriched our lives more than you will ever know..
Even though she was a diva she fought like a WARRIOR Princess; daily subqs, 5 kinds of medication 2 Xs a day...in her food.. which she also took without complaining. I think you all know Madi was really and truly the apple of our eyes and loved to the moon and back. Last week it was obvious to me that she was not on top of her game, she was sleeping more than usual and I mean a deep sleep. As you remember, she was having trouble jumping up too...but we were managing all that comes with being a Senior Diva. Thursday, September 13, I could tell she was not feeling well. Of course, we had the hurricane hanging over us. I was worried she might need a Vet during that time, so I called for an appointment. The wonderful staff and Vets at Hidden Valley saw us immediately. Our vet was not there; however, we saw a wonderful vet Dr. McCormac.
When she walked in the door, her exact words were, "so this is Madi the Miracle Cat of the Clinic". She shook my hand and told me the Vet Techs and our Vet Dr. Szabo had told her so many wonderful things about Madi and her parents. This made me feel so good. I had no idea Madi was the Miracle Cat of The clinic.
Anyway we talked about the most current chain of events and of course she had Madi's extensive records. As she was giving Madi a once over, she asked, "how long has Madi had a heart murmur". I told her we were here a month ago, there was no murmur.
She explained what I should hear and what I would hear. She passed me the stethoscope. I heard what she had described.
Then she listened to Madi's lungs...one was full of fluid....dear precious sweet Madi was in congestive heart failure. She told me that comes on quickly with cats without many early warning symptoms. The treatment for that is a med to reduce the fluid, it causes dehydration...and of course Madi was on Subqs to keep her from being dehydrated.
It was a double edge sword. Obviously she could not recover from this and the treatment would have sooner than later had her gasping for air. In fact, not wanting to eat was a sign...given the choice to eat or take a breath Madi was choosing to breath.
Her Dad was at home preparing for the storm...I called him he came immediately to the clinic. Dr. Mc said judging from what she could hear...Madi would not last long.
On September 13, Madi was not in any discomfort, she was not gasping for air. It was our decision to let her go while she was not in pain or suffering.
Madi was an itty bitty kitty with a GREAT BIG FUN LIFE full of adventures to places she never expected to go, doing things Cats should never do. We thank you all for sharing your lives with us and including us in all your fun.
Blogging has become an addiction and I will continue to blog on
under the name In My Mind's Eye, at this blog address
and it is yet to be decided if there were be
guest appearance from the precious little Guardian Angel's blog.
Knowing Madi, she will be like the fog, tiptoeing in and out on itty bitty kitty paws when we least expect her. It is amazing how a 7.5 lb cat can occupy every square foot of a home.
As soon as Madi's is back home, we'll have an unveiling of her permanent Diva Throne.
I am a huge Alan Jackson fan...
Sissy's Song was written by Alan after the untimely passing of a family friend.
This chorus speaks to me each time I hear it....
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

I am so sorry for your loss. I loved to read Madis stories while I have my first coffee, which is a bit salty today. Good to know that there was no air gasping or pain for her.
ReplyDeleteAuf Wiedersehen Madi!

DeleteI'm so sorry about Madi... but I think your timing for her could not have been more perfect. She was on the edge, looking over at a short amount of time that was anything but quality time, and you spared her. Thank you so much for sharing her with us, and your relationship with her. We've been enriched by it.

ReplyDeleteOh Madi...I know Angel Sammy is happy to have you at the Bridge but I also know your Mom and Dad and all of us back here are sad to see you go. You were the bravest kitty warrior EVER - you kept us laughing even as you had private struggles - you were the ultimate Diva sweetheart and I know your Mom and Dad miss your itty bitty kitty paws padding around the house. We will love you FOREVER and EVER and to the moon and back.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Teddy and Mom too.............
You were our very first kitty friend on the blogs and we fell in love with you from the start. We will never ever forget you, Madi♥ Hugs to your mom and dad♥
ReplyDeleteOh dear, my wonderful neighbor friends Madi and mom- I am so very sorry to hear of Madi's passing. We are so sad here, and dad teared up a little, too, when he heard of this. Please know that we will miss dear Madi, though I know it's nearly a fraction of what you feel. Bless you all, and try to take comfort in knowing so many of us are right there with you in the pain and grief you are coping with. Goodbye, sweet neighbor.
ReplyDeleteMom is crying her eyes out. So so sad that you had to leave Madi. You sure were well loved by everyone, especially your Mom and Dad who gave you such a good loving home. You couldn't have found a better home if you had tried. We sure will miss you. What a wonderful wonderful tribute to you.
ReplyDeleteMadi was truly one of the most special kittehs in the entire Blogosphere. How we will miss hearing about her diva-adventures. But we know she was, and will always be, well loved. Our hearts are broken. - us
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. Every one of us furry ones is so special and always takes a piece of our human's heart when we leave. GBGV hugs.

ReplyDeleteNicki, Derry and Kim
Madi, you were a courageous kitty. You will always occupy a special place in my heart. I loved all your spirit and your curious mischievous personality. You made my mornings special. I know your Mom and Dad are beyond sad and my heart is with them. I also know you are at peace with others that are comforting you and staying close to you. Madi, you were a big presence and you will never be forgotten... never. Sending love, hugs and hopes that you have found some awesome sun puddles that shine on your beautiful furs and your sweet expressive fuzz face ♥
ReplyDelete((hugs)) there are no words. I have enjoyed reading about Madi for a long time. Also one of my kitties went to rainbow bridge on 9/12 so of course this hits home extra today . I appreciate all your blog entries and I hope to hear more some day. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful poem Mom. Sissy's song is very sweet. Ya know I had to cry again when I read this. I will miss our Madi so much.
ReplyDeleteStrength and love being sent to you and Bryan. His Bonsai Bunny could not have been loved more or better taken care of.
Say hi to my gang Madi. I'm glad you are getting to meet my loved ones.
OH NO!!! I am beyond devastated and heartbroken to hear this! My long lost sister has now joined my brother, Minchie, at the Bridge. There will never be a long lost sister as wonderful as Madi. Comforting purrs and hugs.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Laila, Madi's LLS and Mom Peggy
Oh our hearts are breaking! We are just so sad that Madi has made her journey to the Bridge. You know how much we love her. Sending you comforting purrs and our mom sends big hugs.
ReplyDeleteOne of our favorite times of the day were when we would read comments on our blog and see sweet Madi. She always left us such fun and loving comments and would always say your "BFFF" When I signed into the Cat Blogosphere this morning (and I am not there every day) and read the news, my heart completely broke. I am just so sad...I don't have the words. My Baby Bobo also had congestive heart failure........my heart is so sad right now. I know my Angel Bobo is making sure Madi is ok over the Bridge. I wish I could be there to offer you comfort in person. I am so deeply, deeply sorry. Sending much love today and always from Cody and I. xoxoxo Your "BFFs"
ReplyDeleteCecilia and Bryan, we have been thinking about you so much since we heard the news. It is hard for us NOT to mourn the loss of such a wonderful friend. Madi was amazing - she had a kind heart and a loving soul. She never forgot her friends, always there to cheer them up, to send them a pretty card, and to just stop by and say hi. We are going to miss that Miracle Madi. We know your hearts are broken, as are ours, but we are here to lift your spirits high and help you feel better - it is what Madi would have done. Sending you many hugs and lots of love.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Woos - Lightning, Misty, and Timber and of course, Mom too
Our hearts are breaking at this unexpected news! You and Queen Madi are loved and will be in our prayers
ReplyDeleteWe have no words for our sadness this morning. Madi was a one of a kind diva, and we'll never, ever forget her.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry your dear Madi has gone over the Rainbow Bridge. I don't know why but this was just news one never expects to read - yes, in your mind you know someday but your heart is just never ready. Dear sweet Madie - may you find an endless suppy of your favorite treats and your favorite food and all that you love at the other end of the Bridge. May you now be able to run and jump with an endless amount of energy.
ReplyDeleteMom Kim
We are so sad to hear this news. Our moms eyes are leaking and she is having a hard time reading the screen. We always knew Madi was special so it is no surprise that she was known with such high esteem at your vet office too. That also speaks volumes for the care you all gave her this past year. Sweet Madi has met up with our Angel Nina and all her other friends at the Bridge now. We will miss her dearly and hope she reports from the Bridge once in a while. Our paws are crossed for Miss Cecilia and Mr. Bryan right now and we send warm hugs to comfort you.
ReplyDeleteYours,
Millie, Walter and mom Cindy
I am so sorry that Madi had to go. I am crying as I write this as I am sure everyone who read this news is doing too. Madi was a beautiful kitty and truly unique. She will never be forgotten. Sending you love and hugs.
ReplyDeleteWe can barely write this as your beautiful words turned on the faucet in our eyes. Oh to be loved so well, it's the best life anyone could wish for!
ReplyDeleteLove & Hugs
Murphy and Stanley and mom & dad
It saddens us so much, Madi, that another of the Crotchety Cougar ladies has said her final earthly good-bye. You were a great Cougar, Cat Scout and friend to all. We know many Cougars and friends were there to meet you at the Bridge, but we'd rather have you here with us. May you rest in peace knowing you are and always will be loved and remembered. With condolences to Mom Cecilia and your entire family. Love and hugs, Mom Janet, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer
ReplyDeleteWe are so very sorry to read this news.
ReplyDeleteOur hearts are broken.
You were our a great friend and we will not
ever forget that.
Sweet Dreams Madi.

I am so sorry! Thank you for sharing you story. She does sound like quite the fighter and so agreeable with all her treatment! Sam
ReplyDeleteWe are so heartbroken we don't know what to say. Raz and Madi were such a great couple together and shared so many fun times. We can't imagine a world without that sweet little Diva in it. We have all had leaky eyes since we first heard the sad news. Madi was so full of life and changed our lives and the lives of so many others by brining such joy into them. We loved her so much. We're sending purrs and prayers to you. We know Angel Ellie was at the Bridge to welcome her to the Bridge version of the Crochety Cougars.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Madi's guy Raz and The Florida Furkids and Mom Sharon
We are so sad. You were an amazing ambassador for the cat blogging world; greeting new bloggers like old friends. We are diminished by your passing.
ReplyDeletePrayers of comfort for your family, until you meet again. God's Speed, sweet Madi.
I'm sitting in my truck outside of the Sears store waiting for them to open and have run or of Kleenex. Madi was a big cat in a little cats body, and loved by all. I know that like my Lexi you weren't ready to go, precious girl, but sometimes our bodies don't give us a choice. We will always remember you. Your BFFs, Lucy, Xena and mom Amy
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for your loss of Madi. It's so hard to let them go, but to let them suffer is not in the mix at all.
ReplyDeleteBig healing hugs. ♥
soooooooooooo sorry to hear about your kitty, i know the pain very well.
ReplyDeleteLynn,,,,, central Mississippi.
We are so very heartbroken. Madi was such a bright spot in our lives too, and it's hard to imagine the world without her. You all have our love and warm hugs. She was an amazing f uriend.
ReplyDeleteLori, Stan, Scooter and the Crabby Girls
I am in tears.. I am so very very sorry that precious Madi has flown away without us. You parents made the most loving and hard hard decision. Madi didn't have to go on being more and more sick. It is a wrenching thing when our babies leave for the Bridge. It will be good when she is home again. Where she belongs.
ReplyDeleteLots and lots of love,
Katie Isabella and Mom Carole
We'll miss you, Madi. Fly free sweet angel. - Tomx, Mom Julie and Bridgie

We haven't been able to visit our friends' blogs much recently, but yours was always a favorite and we always appreciated your friendliness and positivity. In fact, your blog was one of the first we discovered when we started blogging. It breaks our hearts to know that Madi has crossed the bridge, but we know she was deeply loved. We hope you can take comfort in the many wonderful memories your shared with her. Sending love
ReplyDeleteOur hearts break with yours . . . hugs, hugs, hugs
ReplyDeleteOur hearts are broken, our eyes overflow with tears. Dear Madi, we will miss you terribly.

ReplyDeleteWe’re so sad to read this news. Madi was am amazing cat, and she couldn’t have had more loving humans to share her life with. A cat’s tenth life is the memories of her, and we know that a cat like Madi who touched so many people here leaves behind memories that will last forever. Sending lots of love and hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteI'm here to pay my respects to Madi. *bows head* Sending comforting purrs to those she leaves behind. She had a wonderful life.

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. I know how deep the pain can be after you have spent so much time together and they have, as you said, "fill every bit of your home." We send you our deepest thoughts and condolences.

Madi was one of our oldest and dearest friends in Blogville, we are going to miss reading about her so very much. Our hearts are breaking for you as we know the pain of losing a precious kitty all to well. Purrs of comfort and paws of sympathy from all of us here at ATCAD
ReplyDeleteYour little diva was so special to so many. She was greatly loved around the blogosphere and will be greatly missed! But not nearly as much as you and her dad will miss her. Such a beautiful post for her. I know you said not to cry but it's impossible not to. Thank you for sharing so much of her with us. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWe do not know Madi, but we are sending you lots of purrs.
ReplyDeleteEmma and Buster
We are saddened. Winter arrived again over the weekend...so the Madi Hug scarf was once again a comfort. Farewell sweet Madi.
ReplyDeleteWe have wonderful memories of Madi from your blog years ago. She was a special girl. You gave her one last gift in letting her go before she suffered. Sending our deepest sympathy in your loss.
ReplyDeleteOh dear - not MADI ! We are overwhelmed with our tears ! Dear sweet Madi - who - as Mom says - was a miracle kitty and a gift to all of us who knew her. She will be so deeply missed - and never forgotten. But she is free of pain and of her sub-Q fluid, and all the other accoutrements. She could not have been more loved or found a better place here on Earth !
ReplyDeleteWe are at a loss for words right now. Oh Madi…. How we shall miss you here. Please look for the newest Bridge member, our sweet little Muffin. Our hearts are just so broken over the loss of you both. You were such a pawsome furend to all of us here in Blogville. We know just how your parents are feeling right now and we are so very sorry for their pain.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you all!

We’re going to miss you Madi. . .

We just saw this news at Brian's. We are probably ones of only a pawful who didn't know Madi, but know that we will keep you in our thoughts at this very sad time.
ReplyDeleteWe just lost one of our senior collies in July, so I know only too well your pain and heartbreak. I know my words are inadequate, but you are in my thoughts, and I'm very sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteWe have been in shock all day and trying to think of comforting words to say after this great loss. Madi was everybody's BFFF and we will all miss her terribly.
ReplyDeleteBoth the poem and the prose was beautiful. Every day you shared your love for Madi with us. It enriched all our days. I am so sorry Madi has made her journey across the Bridge. You are both in our thoughts and prayers
ReplyDeleteWe're sorry for your loss of your beautiful Madi. We're sending comforting purrs.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss of your beautiful Madi the Miracle Cat. Reading her poem and your tribute to her, it's abundantly clear how very much she's loved.
ReplyDeleteOur beloved pets are in our lives for such a short time but they live on in our hearts forever. RIP my dear Madi but always watch over your Mom and Dad from the Bridge.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry..... Hugs
♥♥♥
I've waited all day to comment in hopes that I'd wake up and it'd be a bad dream. I am so very sorry to have to say goodbye to the divine Miss Madi. She was such fun and the life of any Blogville gathering. I will always smile a little brighter when the word twerking is mentioned. I know the brightest star in heaven tonight will be you smiling down on your mom & dad. Godspeed my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteOh my! This is so sad. Even though I am a reader, not a fellow blogger, each time I read about another kitty going over the rainbow bridge I am devastated. I feel like I have lost one of my own cats. And there have been too many lately. Rest in peace, Madi. And hugs to your Mom. She needs them.
ReplyDeleteI have started my comment so many times, and just gave up, cause words feel so inadequate. I will tell you that I will miss Madi so very much. I can't even imagine the quiet that is in your house right now. (if you needs me to come overs and cause some troubles, you knows I am up for it! You gots limes for margaritas, right??? ☺)
ReplyDeleteI will just tells you that Madi was one of a kind, and a true Diva. I hopes you realize what an effect she had on everyone. She brought joy and love and furiendship to every pupper,kitteh, crabbie, burdie, donkey, and other asst. anipals she ever met.
Sendin' lots of love and slobbery kisses to NC tonights and always.
Til we met again my furiend....
Kisses,
Ruby (and Ma) ♥♥♥
I am crying all over again. I cannot imagine how you feel. What a beautiful poem, and what an amazing attitude you have. Madi touched so many of us... and you are right - her life was heaven on earth. You spoiled her (in every good way) and shared her love with all of us. All of my family is sending you love and hugs. I know that our Angels are welcoming Madi to heaven with lots of kisses and hugs.
ReplyDeleteSo very very sad for you. Lovely poems. Sending purrs and hugs your way.
ReplyDeleteOH no, sweet darling Madi😿We're so deeply sorry you had to let go of your beloved miracle cat Madi, our bfff. We were flabbergasted when we saw your message coming and weren't able to comment as our hearts were broken too. It's so hard to let go, Madi mom... The poem touched our hearts, we can see the Angels surrounding her with love and care, through the poem. Please take care of yourself 💗Soft Pawkisses to comfort you💗Fly free beautiful Soul. Until we meet again❤💗💗
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteAs I get my tears under control - so many things go through my mind. Madi was so special and a unique voice in the blogging community. We loved hearing about her exploits, the kitchen table, etc. As you might remember, I was quite taken with Madi's tail. It's funny because Ellie's tail is so much like Madi's tail that I think of her every time I see it. I know that's kind of silly - but I want you to know that my love of Madi and you isn't limited to the two days a week I stop by. I think about you both. And I was devastated to hear about her crossing. I took a day or so to try to pull myself together. We love you, Madi and we will NEVER EVER EVER forget our BFF.
ReplyDeleteGoodness me, what a way to start the day: tears streaming down my face, so I can't even imagine what it must be like for you. So sorry to hear about Madi going over the rainbow bridge, although we know she will have the time of her life there. Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteMara, Brom (and Mouse) and Miss Oswin from Northern Ireland want to give you all a very big hug, klem, and a wet nose. Lots of love!
Oh Madi, I have seen you and your momn so many times on comments and other posts. RIP dearest girl and may your mom and dad know peace.
ReplyDeleteI am truly bawling!! I came here this morning to check on you from Florence, and this. Know the world of blogging is in mourning...sweet madi lit up our world!! She WILL be missed. I just KNOW she is sleeping peacefully in her own special sun puddle!

Cecilia, I am sorry to be posting back to you a day later, family stuff going on, I wasn't online yesterday. But when I saw this devastating news, it just took my breath away. I know words are filled without meaning to a broken and empty heart. I loved your beautiful words about Madi and I admire your strength and your outlook. I am typing through tears as your special little Diva will be greatly missed and I just so danged sorry. Their time with us is just never long enough. Gosh darn it I'm going to miss that sweet bright happy girl postings from you and her. You and Dad are in my thoughts and prayers. Will always miss you dear sweet Madison.
ReplyDeleteI hopped to you from KB's blog.A decision, a huge loss, and certainty that this was the best for your darling Madi. The massive empty space in a home, the memories, and then the knowledge that she was SO loved all her life with you both. Many hugs from another friend in blogland down under in New Zealand, with just 2 cats at our home now. XXX
ReplyDeleteWith Deepest Sympathy. We know you must feel like you have a big hole in your heart but may the memories held deep within your heart fill you and help to soothe you.

ReplyDeleteIt's always too soon
It's always too fast
There'll never come a day
We are so sorry for your loss.
That you don't want 'em back
Dearest Angel Madi,
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about you so much over the last few days remembering all the funny, amazing adventures we have shared throughout the years. Gosh, I just can't imagine Blogville without you. Sending so much love and support to your family.
I sure hope you have found Angel Pip and are having a grand old time together. Run wild and free, sweet girl. XOXO
We love the new name and blog page. It is perfect tribute.
ReplyDeleteMom L and I didn’t know your precious Madi and feel we lost out because clearly she was very special. Sending purrs for your loss
ReplyDeleteGosh...It has taken me until now to comment. I have been so tearful when I come and try to comment. I read your heartfelt words and I can feel your pain at the loss of Madi. Yes...we do know they are ill and that it will be soon...but it still seems so far away...until it isn't. And we have to do the last thing we want to do.
ReplyDeleteMadi was wonderful. Her personality shone through your posts. I have LOVED Madi and will continue to do so.
I KNOW Madi and Nellie are OTB and looking down at us as they drink catnip tea and think of grand adventures!
I wish I was closer and could bring you cookie and casseroles and tea
I send you Love, Hugs and Strength my friends
Love and remembering all the good times

Words are failing us right now as we are so surprised to read this devastating news. Our hearts ache for y’all and Madi will live on forever in our hearts...such a very special member of Blogville. We are sending many prayers and hugs to you guys.🙏🙏💜💜🙏🙏
ReplyDeleteOh Cecilia. I am so sorry, I just learned this sad news. What a terrible loss, Madi was the greatest of kitty divas. Her northern Canadian kitty brother Oreo still soldiers on with 3 legs, because he gave one up to win a cancer battle - and also fighting the kidney disease fight. My heart breaks for you and I hope that your healing journey is smooth and full of peace and love. <3 Krista, Oreo and Chico from the Yukon
ReplyDeleteDear Krista...last night I saw your comment on my post of 9/17/18 about
DeleteMadi's passing. I tried to send this to your email from some time ago but it bounced back. Thank you so very much for the lovely comment. I expect Madi found Jimmy and they are romping and stirring up trouble in heaven.
Oreo is such a trooper and he knows he is loved. I see you have a new
companion Chico too. Hugs Cecilia
As Mom said in her email to you, Ms. Cecilia, Madi will ALWAYS be our BFFF!!!
ReplyDeleteWe've been off commenting on blogs due to the remodel, but wanted to make sure to leave a comment here. Madi was one of the special ones, and we're sure she was greeted by so many friends.
Cam, Mags, and our mom
Oh Madi’s Mom, we have been away from blogville too long. We are sorry to hear of Madis passing she was a great furiend to everyone in blogville.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry about sweet Madi. Our animal friends don’t stay with us nearly long enough, but my, how much joy they bring us when they are here. Thank you for sharing sweet Madi with us. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh, Cecilia...I know this post is several years old but today I just randomly decided to check on some blog friends. My heart was broken to read this news. What fun times we all had "back in the day." I felt I knew Madi even though I never met her in the furs and of course, I'll always be grateful that I had the chance to meet you in person and give you a hug. I hope you can feel me hugging you now.
ReplyDeleteSending you much love!
